Dimapur, October 26:
In the backdrop of the killings in Dimapur on Thursday and other neighboring areas "the Naga Army" of the NSCN-IM today stated that it is constrained to come out with the story as unfolded by the killings and counter killings.
The NSCN-IM alleged that the Government of India was on numerous occasions countered by NSCN-IM to "admit the sinister design and identity of the Khaplang group as one of its most trusted forces" to counter the NSCN-IM.
"Having accepted, though grudgingly, the bonafide standing of Khaplang group, vis-�-vis in countering NSCN, a time was forced on the NSCN authority to treat the Khaplang issue in a more serious manner given the fact that the notoriety of Khaplang boys is getting more intolerable by day.
All the more, such collaborative operation of Indian security forces against the NSCN has been tabled by NSCN in a cogent manner with all corroborative evidences," asserted the NSCN-IM in a statement.
The outfit then said that following the peace initiative undertaken by Gaonburas (GBs) and Dobashis ( DBs), the NSCN-IM responded in the manner that peace has always been their priority.
"But making its stance very clear to GBs and DBs on the exact mission of Khaplang group as designed and motivated by Indian intelligence agencies to create havoc against Naga interests that is being stoutly defended by NSCN, the GBs and DBs were told in no uncertain term if they can really rein on the Khaplang group.
If they can do it well and good, but if proved otherwise, the NSCN shall be left with no option but to take up the matter on its own," charged the NSCN-IM.
It also stated that in the course of the peace process with the GOI, the NSCN-IM have raised the "Khaplang party issue without mincing words because the truth has to be told and the truth has to be accepted.
Because peace in Nagalim is at stake and peace is necessarily for a meaningful conclusion of the Indo-Naga Peace talks".
It then alleged that the crux of the issue which has put the "Nagalim peace" at stake is the failure of the Indian security forces to restrain "Khaplang boys" from moving around with criminal program.
The outfit cautions by saying that the NSCN-IM's blunt message to the GOI was to stop "Khaplang group" from any anti-peace activities and antiNSCN-IM activities.
The present scenario give the clear indication that GOI has failed again to show its face of sincerity and commitment by feigning ignorance that appears to be more pretentious than anything else, accused the NSCN-IM.
"It has been the earlier policy for the NSCN to exercise restraint unless provoked beyond tolerance.
Now the matter is left for the GOI to act fast to take full control of this 'Sarkari NSCN', or witness the bloody show that will only expose hypocrisy and deceptive face of India", it warned.
